It has been agreed to increase the minimum salary from the current 16,000 euros per year to 21,000 euros for this season, and from 22,500 and 23,500 for the next two, respectively.
The players of the main women’s soccer tournament in Spain, the F League, have called off the strike that they had planned for at least the first two days after having reached an agreement that improves their salary conditions, which was their main demand.
Thus, a increase in minimum wage, which until now was 16,000 euros annually, up to 21,000 this season, 22,500 for the 2024-2025 tournament and 23,500 for the next. Besides, These amounts could reach 23,000, 25,000 and 28,000 eurosrespectively, if the benefits obtained by the institution increase.
“The commitment and repeated efforts of the clubs during the negotiation process have contributed fundamentally to the achievement of the much-needed peace scenario,” League F said in a statement.
For its part, Futpro, one of the negotiating unions, has placed emphasis on female soccer players. “The inclusion of these variables are fruit of an effort by unions and workers that have managed to include assets that have an impact on their salary,” it states in its statement on the negotiated salary variables.
The union also noted that this agreement “is the beginning and only part of the agreement,” and that they will continue working on issues such as maternityand anti-bullying protocolthe compensation list and others in which an agreement has not yet been reached after more than a year of negotiations.
The focus on women’s football
Spanish women’s football has been at the center of public debate after its team managed to win for the first time in its history with the world Cup in the final held on August 20 in Sydney, Australia.
However, the great sporting achievement was marred by the behavior after the meeting of the then president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales, who grabbed the genitals in an obscene gesture in the box with members of the Spanish royal family and later gave a kiss on the lips, without consent, to the player Jenni Hermoso.
After the indignation raised internationally by those events, Rubiales resigned three weeks later and the controversial coach of the Spanish team, Jorge Vilda, was terminatedwhile nearly a hundred players have assured that They will not attend the calls of the selection until the leadership of the RFEF is renewed.
Hermoso presented a complaint to the Prosecutor’s Office and a court of the National Court has opened a process against Rubiales for sexual assault and coercion. Both the alleged aggressor and the victim have already been cited to declare.
